stress is really awful for the recovery process as it can cause u to tense your jaw and out more strain on the wounds as well as stress can cause your blood vessels to constrict and put pressure on the blood clots from below and push them out causing an excruciatingly painful dry socket the lunch rush yesterday had me in agony that lasted hours after my shift ended and now i’m being told if i want another day or 2 to recover in peace i have to find someone to cover me and nobody’s replying to my requests for cover so what the fuck am i supposed to do here just suffer?? i never usually stand up for myself when it comes to how i’m treated at work but this is ridiculous the same day i was in excruciating pain the manager’s daughter took a day of sick without getting a cover for just a normal sickness so why the fuck do i have to find someone to cover me for a day when i just had surgery and have open holes in my mouth that i’m supposed to be caring for like make it make sense, the day i come back after surgery not even a full 7 days after getting my mouth cut open they make me one of 2 people in the kitchen (1 of 3 in the whole building) during a bullshit lunch rush that made everyone loose their cool, i was literally crying in pain by the time i left to take my lunch break (still came back after it even though i shouldn’t have) kind of a rant but if anyone has any advice for my situation here it would be much appreciated, work at an a&w btw so it’s not as if people are gonna die without me for a day
